With a title like this it is obvious we have decided to adopt this little girl. We are so excited and now anxious to get her home. Our lives are now changed forever. I am working hard to finish the remodel of our basement as it needs to be done before she gets home.
Today we went to Grandma Lucille's house to hang out and eat dinner. We showed her and her guests (Betty and Martin) our latest picture we just recieved. Everyone agreed that she is beautiful. Betty and Martin both told us that they are very proud of what we are doing and this makes us feel so good. Betty and Martin are such loving people and we love getting to see them when they visit. They seem to bring a peace where ever they are.
Betty pulled Elliot into a conversation and it was awesome (I was listening without letting him know). They took turns telling each other stories and it was great to see Elliot listening so intently and then telling her something in return.
On Friday we received an email from our adoption agency regarding our request for more information on our daughters vision. The letter basically said there was no eye exam and it would not be done becasue she is too young (will not cooperate or sit still). The foster family provided some information but it as very limited. The foster family says she can only see about 60 cm (two inches) in front of her.
They also included a recent picture of her and she looks beautiful.
We are going to call the doctor tomorrow and see if she will provide us with a letter stating the importance of getting her eyes worked on as soon as poosible. The adoption agency said they would send it to China and see if we can expedite the process of getting her home. She just turned two and the 2-3 years old timeline seems to be important from what we have read. We know the odds are not good for her and we are ok with that. However, time is important with this type of condition and we are going to push as hard as we can.
We purchased a picture frame and put a photo of her in it today. Melissa also purchased her coat and plans to send it over to her for Christmas.
